F1 chiefs have been warned that the 2026 regulations could lead to the creation of 'Frankenstein cars'.
Formula 1 chiefs have been urged to ramp up analysis about the true impact of new rules for 2026, amid fears from some teams they could spawn"Frankenstein cars".As F1 gears up for an overhaul of both the power unit and chassis regulations, concerns have emerged about the potential for a negative impact on the spectacle if elements of the new package do not work as hoped.
Instead, it has been suggested, consideration should be made to try to shift things away towards so much reliance on the electrical element to help avoid any risk of trouble.Early analysis conducted by teams has triggered worries that there could be a risk of cars running out of battery power at some tracks because the electrical systems cannot regenerate enough energy from the MGU-K.
The worries have been fuelled further by teams not yet knowing the potential drag profiles of the 2026 cars, which are set to feature active aerodynamics to flatten wings on the straights. "If there are any problems, then we need to head them off now, because if we wait until the rules are finalised then it could be too late."
This relates not just to overall lap time, with the target being for cars to be not too dissimilar to current performance levels, but also how and where that power is produced throughout the lap.
